I got enough amount of ripe tomatoes to can so I decided to make tomato sauce last week with the help of my kids.
Procedure:

Gather the tomatoes you want to can.

Boil a big pot of water.

Drop the tomatoes in the super hot water.

The skin will crack after few minutes.

You can start peeling them off. Just be careful as the meat would be hot.

My kids love peeling off the skin.

When the skin has been removed, remove the core as you don't want it in your sauce.

After that, slice them up according to your desired size. I like chunks of tomatoes in a sauce so I slice them a little bigger.

See the pile of the skin? That's how easy it comes off when the water is boiling hot.

When you are ready to cook the sauce, put them in a big pot, add water and the spices that you desired. I add, onions, sugar, salt, black pepper, oregano, olive oil, and sometimes I also add bell peppers but this time, I did not add bell pepper.

I put Newman's Own Organic Olive Oil to use. We made six and one half quarts that day. I usually use the half bottle in spaghetti right away. Make sure to sterilize your bottles before storing your sauce.

Another exciting part that the kinds look into the process is hearing the lids popped, which means that it is sealed already.

I have a basket full of ripe tomatoes again ready to be canned, I might do it in a couple of days. So there you go Chefs, my homemade tomato sauce from my homegrown tomatoes. Nothing can bet that!

Wow fresh tomatoes! My daughter was with me earlier as I opened your link Ate Rose, you may not asks me but she is a big fan of tomatoes. I don't know where on earth she learned eating uncooked tomatoes because we never practice it here but she does. So when she saw the big pictures she said "mommy matis un wow! penge"

Wow sis! That is amazing! Is it not a tough job? I have never done that, ever! Whenever I got plenty of tomatoes around, esp. during harvest season, I tend to make Sweet and sour menus often just to consume them. You just gave me an idea now! :)

Yay! for those yummy home made tomato sauce Sis Rose :-) your kids are very helpful too :-) It saves you money than buying the tomato sauce at the grocery store :-) My in-laws do the same thing as well :-)

wow, this is really nice. didn't know that canning tomatoes is this easy. thanks for sharing on how to do it, i might try it. really handy to have jars of it when time comes. btw, i love your mason jars...:)

wow! unbeatable indeed! nothing like fresh tomatoes being turned into sauce...am sure your kids had a great time peeling off the skin...thinking of doing this too! thank you for the great idea! hmmm there are so many dishes waiting to be cooked with those tasty sauces :)
